Meghan was the only girl on this team. All-State honors recognize a students dedication to academics, citizenship and shooting skills.
Amanda and her team-mate Keisha Smith were each awarded $500.scholarships.
Coach Doug Server stated that he was proud of the entire team and specially the varsity squad. He believes next years varsity squad will even be better and a solid contender for the championship, however much depends on the squads dedication to improve during the off-season and the shooters moving up from the junior levels.
Tennessee fielded roughly 2500 shooters in 100 programs this year – more than any other state. In addition to the 907 students (including 172 alternates) that shot in trap competition at the state this year, 102 also shot in sporting clays and 32 in skeet. Many shooters, specially in the V and JV programs shot in all three disciplines.
The SCTP Trap, Skeet and Sporting Clays National Championships will be held at the World Shooting Complex in Sparta, IL on July 23-26. Coach Server is unsure at this time how many of his team will compete. For more info visit www.tnsctp.org

Trappers try to catch fur bearing animals like coyote, mink, and beaver for fun and profit. I talked Gary into going with me to see what we could learn.
